8. it is kinda odd

that she has lived in Spain, for what, 30 years, but is still an American citizen. I mean I was a Wisconsinite for about ten years, from 1987-1988 and 1990-1999, but I don't still get to vote in Wisconsin, even though I owned property there until 2009. She is somewhat shielded from the consequences of her vote, living in Spain.
